Set in one of the last movie houses in Mass that still runs giant film reels on a 35-millimeter projector, three employees experience the doom of becoming extinct. Sam (John Steffenauer) is the hulky, unflinchingly honest 35-year-old head usher desperately in love with the unattainable projectionist, Rose (Sarah Silk) a green-haired vixen with deadpan sex appeal. When Rose comes down from the overhead projectionist booth into the theater to play, she humiliates Sam by making a beeline for the new usher, an insecure quivering bundle of neuroses college kid named Avery (Saladin White II).
